Once Upon a Time There Were Drummers (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The young drummer of the pioneer band is expelled because of his short height. His trek through the fields led to the City of Golden Cockerels, where drummer children used to live under the guidance of an obviously infantile king. But the king died, the prince was too young, and an evil minister with evil minions took power.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
